One reporter found out the hard way that Tony Ferguson means what he says when it comes to questions about mental health. On Friday during the UFC 249 press conference in Las Vegas, Cageside Press reporter Rodney James attempted to ask Ferguson about his past issues with mental health. James tried to set up his question in a respectful, but before he could even ask it, Ferguson shut it down. “You seem to be in really great spirits,” James said on the microphone. “I commend you for going head first into some mental health issues and working through that, especially a lot of people look up to you.” That’s when the former UFC interim champion intervened. “(Expletive) you,” he said, to cheers from fans.
